Adult clients of many ages, cultural backgrounds, orientations, and world views are all welcome.

Some clients come with traumas from the past that limit their lives in the present. Some are wrestling with identities their loved ones cannot understand, or with cultural backgrounds the larger society fails to honor. Some hope to clarify why a major life transition like graduating, parenthood, or aging has thrown their ordered world into chaos. Still others are grieving losses, both visible and invisible. I address issues of trauma and abuse, problematic relationships, attachment wounds, anxiety, and depression. I pay close attention to how race, spirituality, sexual orientation, ethnicity, education, and socioeconomic status affect the life of each client.

Regardless of what moves a person to seek help, the point of therapy is to reduce the suffering that stems from feeling alone in the face of overwhelming emotion. Even clients with the most traumatic and painful pasts have benevolent guides within, and a profound reserve of Self Energy that enables them to recover from wounds, to grow new courage and resilience, and to rediscover joy.
